What does SPINET mean in Scrabble?
noun
music
A small keyboard instrument related to the harpsichord, with strings set at a slant to the keys.
The spinet was popular in homes of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries because it took up little room and was cheaper than a full harpsichord. Its strings are plucked, not struck, which gives a thin, bright sound. The name later passed to small upright pianos, and the spinet piano is a compact model with its action set low.
